The last quarter of my second year of college I attended one class. I was taking 22 units and I attended one class. There's a solid use of financial resources. I left after that. Two years was enough for me. Got a job, got married, started making babies and the rest is history. Except the cost. Hell, I am still paying on my college loans.

I want to go to college to learn more than I want to go to college to get a job. I like learning... I like my job now...

When it comes to learning, let me get my hands on it. I think that is why I did so well in subjects that required my participation. All of the 'ology' classes cuked in my opinion because I learned everything sitting in a hot room with 300 nerds all thinking about their cool calculators or how much their books weighed. Math, science, shop classes... I got to learn by getting in the mix of things. I have a really hard time learning in a classroom environment. Maybe that is why I left school early...

I guess I was lucky because I learned a lot in college and I still use a lot what I learned everyday in my job. And I am still constantly learning and improving, but some of my classes taught me principals that I just don't get in the real world where everything needs to be done now with little to no foresight.
